Best places to visit in the UK

  • Inverness: Located in the bottleneck in the north of Scotland, Inverness is a stunning swath of the country that presents visitors with a range of options for enjoyment. While here, you’ll want to book a tour of one of the many whiskey distilleries. The Scottish are known for their whiskey and their stories, so get ready to enjoy the tales.    
  • Lake District: On the western side of England, just a couple of hours north of Manchester, is the Lake District—a perfect venue for outdoor enthusiasts. For aquatic adventure, try Coniston Water, which is a great spot for kayaking and canoeing. For scenic hiking trails, venture to Tarn Hows lake. 
  • Liverpool: The port city of Liverpool sits on England’s west coast facing the Irish Sea. It’s a vibrant area that’s evolved in recent years. With a wealth of great restaurants offering well-crafted meals, it’s a foodie’s paradise. Before dinner, grab tickets to see either Liverpool or Everton, the city’s two English Premier League soccer teams, or maybe take The Beatles private walking tour. 

Summer in the UK

In the summer, the rainy island becomes lush with vegetation and the temperate climate creates an inviting travel destination. Grab a car rental in the United Kingdom to check out the various geological sites of interest available. In Edinburgh, Scotland, head to Arthur’s Seat. Alternatively, venture to one of the Seven Wonders of the World, Stonehenge, located on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire. Or hike the Scottish Highlands and attend a town’s Highland Games.

We were refused hire from Greenmotion car hire around the corner from Sixt as our Australian drivers license didn’t display date of issue. The staff at Sixt couldn’t have been more helpful or friendly when we found ourselves in this stressful situation, offering a solution to the problem and finding us a car to hire that day. Could not recommend more highly, thank you so much to Jonas and the whole team.

Ian T.

I flew in after a long flight with my family from Australia only to find I had booked a car way to small for our needs Neil Skidmore and his lovely colleague working at the desk were more than accommodating in assisting us into a larger yet more affordable and suitable car. They showed me a range of cars walking with me to view the vehicles available all the time ensuring me that would help in any way they could.

The professionalism and friendliness was more than what I could of expected or asked for.

I travel regularly and don’t normally do the review thing. However, this one needed to be highlighted as it’s device like this that makes a huge difference!!!

Thanks again to the both of you.
